Figure 1From: ERECTA, salicylic acid, abscisic acid, and jasmonic acid modulate quantitative disease resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana to Verticillium longisporumPhenotypic characterization of different A. thaliana genotypes. a,b) Systemic colonization of a) Ler, Bur and two NILs differing in the vec1 region (experiment 6; one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey test, p < 0.05, n = 6-7), and b) two genotypes differing only in Erecta function (experiment 5, t-test, p < 0.05, n = 6). c,d) Resistance to V. longisporum-induced stunting expressed as performance height in c) an experiment performed in winter (experiment 1, t-test, p < 0.05, n = 6) and d) an experiment performed in spring (experiment 2, t-test, p < 0.05, n = 6). e) Proportion of chlorotic rosette leaves in Bur (squares) and Ler (circles) after V. longisporum-inoculation (closed symbols) and mock-inoculation (open symbols) during the course of a growth chamber experiment. Vertical bars denote standard deviations. Ecotypes and treatments differed significantly from 6 dpi on (p < 0.05; t-test; n = 41 for Ler mock, n = 38 for Ler V. longisporum, n = 60 for Bur mock, n = 58 for Bur V. longisporum).Back to article page
